#German sentence structure: Questions 1

posted 1 year ago

#grammar

Last time we learned how the sentence structure of an easy statement works. But how do we construct a question in German?

First of all we have to distinguish between yes/no questions and specific questions. I wanna tell you about yes/no questions today, which ask for the truthfulness of a statement.

The order of the elements is the following:

Prädikat/Verb (conjugated verb) - Subjekt (subject) - Objekt (object)

For example: Gehst du nach Hause? Are you going home?

(V)    (S) -     (O) - ?

Kommt ihr zu unserer Party? Are you coming to our party?

(V)     (S) -      (O)       - ?
